Red face Paranoid thoughts about being watched

Whenever I'm in a situation in my room where I don't want people to be watching me like getting changed after a shower, I have these constant thoughts that someone is peeking through my blinds. Now even if my blinds are shut, I still think in some way someone can see me, through the tiny little holes or just from a place I'm not aware of. I've even gone outside my window numerous times to see just how well people could see me if in fact they were. I'm always looking over my shoulder, thinking my friends walked up the road and have decided to play peeking tom. Does anyone else have these thoughts? I read somewhere that pregnant women go through this but I ain't pregnant! I don't know if it's a feeling of guilt and shame caused by insecurities or if it stems from the fact that I dislike people looking at me. But just the thought of this makes me embarrassed and then I begin to act as if I am indeed being watched, like how I would feel and act if I was embarrassed in a public place with real people staring and laughing. I just want to cover my face and hide- and I am already tucked away in my room!

Re: Paranoid thoughts about being watched

i kow exactly wat u mean. but, i get it too wen people are around, which makes more sense. i also get it wen i think ppl can hear my thoughts too? which of course is very illogical.

i dont really know wot to say.. because its smthing im yet to overcome. but ur not alone.

Re: Paranoid thoughts about being watched

hmmm ... ok, well lets think about this...

what is the worst that could happen if someone COULD see you??

because, if you think about it, if you were changing with the curtains wide open, and someone walked past.. chances are, they may just turn their heads anyway. unless they are a complete pervert, but, i dont expect a high percentage of the population is a pervert.

plus, if you try to make urself feel good about ur body, wat wud it matter if someone cud see you? im sure u're all great stunners who deserve to be looked at, lol.

i dunno, as u no, i have the same problem, im just tryin to offer sum answers today.

Re: Paranoid thoughts about being watched

I'm not sure if this is the same thing or anything, I just get sudden thoughts that a person (all of my anxiety, etc centres around this one person) can see me. Or it's more: "What if 'she' can see me...?". That sort of thing. And I will stop what I'm doing. It's not really that big an issue with me though.

I can relate a little too to the thoughts problem, only yours seems more severe. This is all just a little.

I think it's a good idea to think "What is the worst that can happen?", repetitively like it was suggested but I don't really know. Just thought I'd post to wish you all the best of luck in all of this.

Take care XxX
